I am just a middle aged working mom trying to be the best example she can for her 14 year old daughter. I want her to know you can do it all…be successful, accomplish big send’s (objectives) and look and feel good while doing it!

For YEARS I thought I was a binge eater… but I’m realizing I was never fueling my body the way it needed to be.

This challenge has helped me create healthier habits all around. I sleep better, I eat better, I feel energized and confident! I also recognize it’s not about perfection. It’s about making lifestyle changes that are sustainable for me.

I learned how to foster more mental toughness. I learned how to set better goals. I learned how to periodize my training when mountaineering goals and gym phases/goals don’t always align. The last week of the challenge I returned from Mt. Whitney and got my first invitation to the Age Group Quarterfinals. This has been a great 12 weeks!

I joined the performance challenge to enhance my running goals. Despite initial challenges and international travel, I learned to be flexible with nutrition. This journey taught me adaptability, how to have a positive mindset, and the importance of various metrics in measuring progress. I’m grateful for the support of my coach in helping me achieving both physical and mental growth.

To say that the 12 week challenge was life changing isn't a stretch for me, because it really has been. I appreciate the fact that you put this out there with different options. It gave me a lot to think about before I really committed to the performance side of things. And it's a decision that I'm so happy I made.

I had used BIN in the past and knew I would benefit from the accountability, but worried about focusing too much on my weight and body. When I saw the Performance challenge, I knew that was exactly what I needed. This challenge and my coach have been so helpful in keeping me on track and helping my achieve my goals. I’ve learned a lot about balancing my nutrition, daily habits, and workouts in a way that I can sustain.
